The author provide clear and useful explanations of both classical, modern and post modern theories of art. I appreciate her ability to both give a fair presentation of ideas while challenging their validity.
While the theories presented are interesting and sometimes useful, personally I am more skeptical than her (and most of the theorists she discusses) of the “moral” or political value of art.
